The Haynes Fund produces few annual events to not only fund ourmission, but also provide the same opportunity for young people that we lookfor in our other projects.

We encourage you to support events as patrons or sponsors providing theneeded resources for our highly regarded projects. And have some fun too!-------------------------------------------------------------------We hosted a great basketball tournament earlier this year with St Bonaventure winning the boys bracket and St Hedwig the girls bracket. We raised about $10,000. Although last year’s prom (where we granted $100,000 to six organizations in one evening) was a huge success– we are taking this year off! As always, we continue to support young people and their families – for their need does not take a break! Already this year we have assisted 15 students with tuition and help with field trips and other school activities as well as provided additional grants to the Illumination Foundation and Youth Mentoring Connection. We have budgeted for between $100,000 and $125,000 this year in grants and direct assistance; so even though there is no Prom we soon will be soliciting your support with an ask through the mail. We hope you will extend your generosity once again as we provide for our grantees. We all wish you a wonderful and refreshing summer!Pace e Bene – Mike, Paul Connie, Rick and Murf.
